Ymir Report #49 — Ymir PHP SDK


Heya friend!

Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that I’m building.


INTRO

This is the final report from Tokyo! Although, I'm thinking of coming back this October. The partnership that I mentioned last report dominated my time during this cycle.

Unfortunately, I can't share much yet. But since the goal is to integrate Ymir to another platform, I've done work decoupling code from the Ymir CLI so that we can use it in other projects. The result is the first Ymir SDK!

Still doing meetings to get some more clients/partnerships. And no new Carl-as-a-Service customer, which is a bummer. I've held off trying to find consulting work for now and to pay myself a bit from the money I've made so far.


PRODUCT

You can always view the history of Ymir's product development at https://ymirapp.com/changelog.

As I said, I've been working a lot on things partnership related. There's only the Ymir PHP SDK that's public. But most of the upfront work around the partnership is almost over, so I'll be going back to working on Ymir itself.

I've been working on tagging for so long. I haven't really thought about what I want to tackle next. I'm going to try to do smaller feature/requests instead of tackling a larger feature of that scale right away.


MARKETING

I'm really struggling with the marketing side right now. It's really hard to find the energy. I'm putting a lot into this partnership.

I've had a few more meetings and have some more planned. But I have to write some documentation on tagging. So I'm trying to do that.


BUSINESS

You can always view Ymir's up-to-date business metrics at ymirapp.com/open. They're updated every 10 minutes.

April is looking pretty good right now. A good amount of trials. I should be able to gain at least one subscriber this month. Still really slow pace sadly.

I'm still not sure how fast the partnership can come online. But I did the math, and that's really what will bring me some financial stability in the near future. That's why I'm giving it my all.

But my only income is the $999 from Carl-as-a-Service. So that's hard right now. I'll probably pay myself from some of the money Ymir made so far this month. But I can only do this for a few months reasonably.

Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that I’m building. INTRO Heya! It's been a little while since the last report. December was super busy and then I had some unfortunate events during the holiday and in January which delayed a lot of stuff. I'm still not done writing my year in review because of them 🫣😅 There's actually been quite a bit of work done on the product since the last update. The biggest new feature is PHP...

Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that I’m building. INTRO I hope everyone in the USA had a great Thanksgiving! 🦃 Well, if October was busy, November was even more so! I had a lot of contract work. I was also lucky that some clients postponed some of it until this month or next year. One difference with October is that some of my consulting work was Ymir related! This allowed me to get some bug fixes in, as well as...

Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that I’m building. INTRO It's been a busy October for me on the consulting front. Lots of contracts and I have some new ones starting next month as well. I wish I had some time to dedicate to Ymir, but I have to prioritize that work. Especially since 2024 was a slower year for me and Ymir's business shrunk. I figured this was a good time to do some writing on the current WP...
